Turquoise is a Turkish yard that has grown into the upper tier of explorer yacht construction, producing vessels designed to cover long distances in comfort and arrive at remote anchorages fully equipped for diving, watertoys and extended living aboard. Their yachts have a purposeful directness: practical deck arrangements and a design language that is contemporary without being fashionable.
Four Turquoise yachts cruise in or around St Lucia during the Caribbean winter season. They range from 40 to 55 metres and carry the explorer aesthetic: dark hulls, large tenders, and substantial fuel reserves that make offshore passages unconstrained by fuel planning. Interior volumes are well-appointed with a focus on durability that suits serious cruising as much as leisure.
Charter rates for Turquoise yachts in St Lucia generally run from 70,000 to 160,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, provisions and running costs. Larger examples with extensive dive and watertoy packages may carry modest APA premiums during active weeks. Rates follow Caribbean winter seasonality, peaking from December to February.
The explorer orientation of a Turquoise yacht suits the Eastern Caribbean well. St Lucia is a convenient base from which to cover the full arc of the Windwards, from Martinique north to Guadeloupe or south to Grenada, with the Grenadines offering sheltered anchorages throughout and the yacht has the range and equipment to go wherever guests prefer.
